San Marcos taco shop trashed in suspected gang fight

A San Marcos restaurant was damaged in a suspected gang fight Friday night, and sheriff’s deputies said one person may have been stabbed.

Deputies responded about 7:20 p.m. to Mr. Taco on West Mission Road, near Firebird Lane.

It was reported that suspected gang members were fighting with knives and screwdrivers, sheriff’s Lt. Dave Schaller said. The inside of the restaurant had been “trashed,” and there was blood on the floor, he said.

Area hospitals were contacted to notify deputies if a stabbing victim showed up for treatment. Deputies went to Palomar Medical Center in Escondido when it was determined one person may have been taken there.
